Three point span
The scale has a three point calibration feature which reduces the effects on non-linearity
in the load cells. This requires that you place three weights on the cell during calibration.
The first weight must be greater than zero, the second greater than the first, and the final
weight somewhere between the second and the capacity.
How to Calibrate the Scale
There are three parameters that can be set without moving the calibration switch, followed
by three more parameters and the actual calibration which require the calibration switch to
be in the enabled position.

1. Access the calibration switch and press once if you intend to calibrate. See
Calibration Switch.
2. Turn both the base and head on. Wait for scale to warm up (2-3 minutes).
3. Press ZERO and PRINT together and release to enter the calibration mode.
4. The scale displays “EE-00
EE-00 EE-00 EE-00”. Press the ZERO and PRINT keys simultaneously.
Enter the sample rate (1 to 64), ('4' is suggested, although if your readout is too
jumpy, you can increase this value). The sample rate is the number of past
readings that are averages together to make a reading. (Press ZERO and PRINT
keys to enter this number.)
